I love my Urban and carry it every day for now. Enjoy your Spydies and hide your wallet
Yeah, they've definitely got a recipe for appealing to folks who appreciate good gear. This is so clearly superior in construction to all the other pocketknives I've owned.

It's not the double detent system that's causing the problem; it's noticeable stiffness in between the detents. When closing the knife, it's less of a problem; but when opening the knife one-handed with the thumbhole, it's quite laborious.

Pivot adjustment on a new Urban

I just got my first Spyderco -- the orange Urban. It is clearly a well finished knife -- very sharp, good lines, good grip, good clip. But. . .the pivot operates very stiffly, making the opening of the knife into a tricky two-step operation. I want to adjust the pivot screw, but when I loosen the to...

The Dialex Junior will probably not be anywhere near 6", but the handle shape looks like it will be perfect for the pinch grip that cooks use.

Nested compression lock in a small G-10 folder?

After obsessively scanning through Spyderco's catalog, I notice that the Military and Paramilitary use the same trick to save weight: rather than use a traditional steel liner, they've simply got a trough for a lock bar machined straight into the G-10 slab. I've got no use at all for a knife as big ...

Branding

Micro-Manix is too wordy. Just go with "Minix2." (Although Minix is the name of an obscure computer operating system, I doubt there is any likelihood of confusion...)

I like what you've done. It boggles my mind that you did it, though.

With the right lock, that's pretty much my dream knife

My first post! If you can make this small Sage with either a Compression Lock, bolt action lock, or CBBL, I think I can promise to buy no fewer than 3 -- I've got family members who would go bonkers over one. But if it's a liner or frame lock, lockback, or a slipit, no can do. I want a knife that lo...
